I am not an expert on Jewish law, nor did I know about the Kohanim thing. I've never known a Kohanim nor even seen the laws that you say makes them special.

Fair enough.

My main point was that if a group of people care enough about race to have a special class of people like the Kohanim who are forbidden from marrying people with the wrong type of ancestry, then I don't really buy all this stuff about how religion is more important than race to the Jews.

I'd like to see the Kohanim thing in writing. So far, all I've seen is Lionaxe's contention that it does exist. That's not enough for me.

Not explicitly, but that was clearly the implication. If European Gentiles had no right to come to North America, neither did European Jews.

I implied so such thing.

Here is what I said:

I asked the question in response to this:

But whatever the case might be a practical approach is needed for the future; and that practical approach is not along the lines of what many zionists indeed suggest, being a Palestinian state of islands within Israel depending on the Occupation State for communications within their own nation.

Further, no one ever gave Israel the right to occupy Jerusalem. Especially not when other people already live there.
